Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Kefir
Metabolic Effect: Kefir regulates the digestive system and strengthens the immune system thanks to its probiotic content. The lactic acid bacteria it contains improve the intestinal flora, reducing problems such as bloating and constipation. At the same time, kefir provides a feeling of satiety thanks to its protein content and can help with weight control.
Consumption Recommendation: You can consume kefir plain or mix it with fruit or granola. Consuming it especially at breakfast or as a snack helps you keep your energy levels stable throughout the day. You can also increase its nutritional value by adding kefir to your smoothies.
Things to Consider: When consuming kefir, it is important to pay attention to portion control, especially if you are consuming it for the first time. Excessive consumption may cause bloating or gas problems in some people. In addition, individuals with lactose sensitivity should be careful or prefer lactose-free kefir.
Exercise Equivalent: You need to walk for about 20 minutes to burn the calories you get from 1 glass of kefir. This is an exercise that you can easily integrate into your daily activity. Alternatively, you can burn the same amount of calories by running for 10 minutes.
